I took a deep breath and thought that I had done a good thing.
"Well, little brother Dongfang, thank you for helping me such a big favor. It's definitely not okay to just give you some grapes." Lao Gao said shyly, "I don't know what I should pay according to the rules of your industry.
How much remuneration is appropriate?”
As if he was afraid that I would misunderstand, Lao Gao continued, "Little brother Dongfang, if you don't explain, I'm afraid that I will give you less and make you dissatisfied."
I frowned, this is really a problem! What is the appropriate amount to charge?
As the saying goes, "taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others," this is also true in our Yin and Yang profession.
Grandpa told me that there are several rules that we must abide by in our industry, that is, the rich will receive more, and the poor will receive less, but they must be collected.
I thought about it carefully and realized that Lao Gao knew Loach. It would definitely not be good if I collected too much, so I held out a finger and said, "Just one thousand!"
Lao Gao looked at my fingers and his expression relaxed. It was obvious that he was also worried that I would take too many.
"No problem, I'll take the money right away!" As he said this, Lao Gao ran towards a wooden house outside the vineyard.
When he came back, he was holding several red photos of Mao Zedong in his hand.
"Little brother Dongfang, this is one thousand yuan, you order it!" Lao Gao smiled and handed the money to me.
I nodded lightly, pretending to be a master, "No need to click, you and Loach are considered acquaintances, can I still not trust you?"
When I said this, Loach seemed to have a lot of face, and he immediately cooperated and puffed up his chest.
Then Loach and I wandered around in the vineyard until we couldn't eat any more grapes, and then we left with a whole tricycle full of grapes.
Because when we came here, it was Loach who rode the tricycle, so when we walked back it was my turn to ride the tricycle.
But actually I am the one who suffers, because when I came here I was the only one in the tricycle, but now I have brought a cart full of grapes with me when I came back, so it became even harder for me to ride.
"Today is a good day..." Loach sat on a tricycle and howled like a ghost, looking like a villain who had succeeded.
I was wondering if I should do something to tidy up the loach.
But when I rode my tricycle to an open space, I saw many people milling around a coffin not far from us, blocking the road and making it impossible for Loach and I to get through.
Those people were all wearing white mourning clothes.
Judging from their appearance, they must be carrying coffins to send their ancestors to their graves, but they don't know why they stopped here.
"What's wrong?" Loach saw me stopping and asked in confusion.
I didn't say anything, but pointed ahead.
Loach knew at a glance that something must have happened ahead, and couldn't help complaining, "It's so unlucky that we encountered such a thing on the road..."
Loach wanted to continue talking, so I quickly put my index finger in front of my mouth to signal him to stop talking.
Since learning Maoshan Taoism, I have regarded myself as a Maoshan Taoist priest. I have more concerns when speaking. I don’t need to believe many things, but I must respect them.
Loach also knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Let's go over and take a look!" I jumped off the tricycle.
"good."
After we put the tricycle aside, we walked towards the group of people to find out what happened.
The approach of Loach and I didn't attract much attention. They still frowned and looked serious.
And I noticed that the coffin they were carrying was intact, and the tools used to carry the coffin were not damaged. I was very confused as to why they stopped.
"Hey, isn't that Zhao Jiuzhong's grandson?" Just when I was puzzled, a voice suddenly sounded like muffled thunder.
Suddenly everyone's eyes were focused on me.
Then a middle-aged man with a general belly came towards us.
He held my hand very enthusiastically and said, "Are you Zhao Jiuzhong, the grandson of Zhao Jiuye?"
I nodded, "I am Zhao Dongfang, the grandson of Zhao Jiuzhong, who are you?"
"My name is Zhou Hai. I visited your grandfather last time, and you opened the door for me. You have no memory of this?"
I thought to myself that there were so many people coming to see my grandfather, and I didn’t even remember how many people I had opened the door to. How could I know who you were?
But although I thought so in my heart, what I said out loud was "Zhou Hai! If you didn't tell me earlier, I only recognized you now!"
I pretended to be very familiar with Zhou Hai, laughed and patted his shoulder several times.
I changed the subject and continued, "I see you are going to be buried. There is nothing wrong with the coffin or anything, so why are you stopping here?"
"Oh, don't mention it!" Zhou Haibai waved his hands and told us with a depressed look, "We are here to bury our ancestors. Everything was going smoothly, but when we got here, for some reason, the coffin suddenly
It became so heavy that we couldn’t even lift it!”
A coffin that cannot be lifted?
This aroused my curiosity, and I took a look at the coffin. Unfortunately, after looking for a while, I couldn't see any clue.
"By the way, can you help us find out what's going on? The person lying in the coffin is my third uncle. Ask him if he has any unfulfilled wishes in the world. Send him away quickly.
"Zhou Hai looked at me excitedly.
I gave a helpless smile. I originally just wanted to come over and take a look, but I didn't expect that I would end up getting involved.
"I will try my best to help you, but I dare not say whether I can solve the problem in the end."
"Great! You are the grandson of Master Zhao Jiu. If Master Zhao is so powerful, you must be able to do something." I actually don't have much confidence myself, but Zhou Hai has full confidence in me.
Loach poked me gently behind me, "I said, Dongfang, are you okay? I think you are a bit reluctant! If it really doesn't work, let's leave! Otherwise, wait a while and we don't solve the problem. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
.”
I lowered my voice and said, "I'll give it a try!"
Then I ignored the loach and started walking around the coffin.
This is really strange. Why can't the coffin be lifted?
I said to the Eight Great Vajras, "Lift the coffin again and take a look!"
The Eight Great Vajras refer to the people who carry the coffin to the cemetery. In some places they are called coffin bearers, and in other places they are also called the Eight Immortals.
One of the people said, "We have tried it many times. There is nothing obvious about this coffin from the outside, but if you try to lift it yourself, you will know how heavy this coffin is."
When he said this, I became interested. I motioned to a coffin bearer to give way and let me carry it.
After I got into my stance, the person at the front said, "Are you all ready? One, two, three, lift!"
After hearing the leader's slogan, we all tried our best together, but the coffin was really like a hill. We all tried our best, but the coffin still didn't move at all.
Instead, while the coffin was being carried, a strange black wind blew by.
